Pinned Post or Something
helloooo I'm Grey, my main is @gr3y-heron and I also draw over at @gr3y-heron-art - I've decided to make another sideblog for this!
I love mythology and folklore a lot, especially Celtic and Norse mythology and stuff about weird creatures, and that's what I'll be posting and reblogging here!

Images used in my Banner, and which wikipedia pages I found them on:
An illustration by Donn P. Crane from Journeys Through Bookland (1922).
This depicts a scene from Norse mythology where the dwarf Brokkr presented great treasures he and his brother, Sindri, had made for the Aesir: the golden boar Gullinbursti for Frey; the gold ring Draupnir for Odin; and the mighty hammer Mjolnir for Thor.
Sir Orfeo, illustrated by Errol le Cain.
"It's over, numbnuts, I have the high ground!"
High Above Him Came the Dragon by Charles Folkhard, an illustration from the book Jolly Calle & Other Swedish Fairy Tales (1912).
It's great that you're doing a queer interpretation of folklore, but before you do, do you actually know anything at all about folklore?
Look at my birthday cake...
Loki disguised as the Bridesmaid, from the myth of the Þrymskviða!
Its been ages since I made one of these, I'm happy to be making phenakistoscopes again!
I drew a little something for the Hiveworks micro comic summer~
It's time! Today is the day. Share the comic you've been working on all summer with the tag #MicroComicSummer
Thinking about THE GREEN KNIGHT recently
The Black Dog.
Otherwise knows as Black/Old Shuck, Church Grim, or Barghest, the Black Dog is an omen of English Folklore. The sight of a black ominous hound was a sign of troubles to come - rotten food, dead crops, floods or storms, or just an incoming death.
Safe to say heat map of Europe for this current heatwave - the hottest June on record (so far…)- where the highest temperatures go so red they turn black reminded me of the Black Dog. Hopefully some others will also see the signs of danger to come if nothing is done…
further into the forest
The nice thing about this heatwave is that you get to feel like Gilgamesh, prince of Uruk and contemplator of the deep, lost and grieving in the sun-lacerated deserts of bronze age Mesopotamia whilst you're getting the shopping from your local Aldi.

the hœnir fandom is dying, reblog is youre a true hoe
I think it would be so funny if there was a show about King Arthur and the knight of the Round Table where a different knight(s) joins the Round Table every episode and it gets to the point where the cast is like 500 people and absolutely no one is acknowledging that there are like 400 people in this court. Like a gratuitous amount of knights. The plot randomly pivots to knight or knights of the week and then back but it’s not an anthology exactly. Some of them die the same day they join, some randomly disappear from the story and others are technically there for the rest of the series but doing fuckall. Occasionally Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and everyone will shrug. Very important quest surrounding the major knights you’re expecting and a minor knight no one has seen for 5 seasons randomly joins in. You need a knightly spreadsheet to join in.
This is all handled very dryly by all the other characters, except for Arthur who occasionally breaks the 3rd wall, addresses the camera and says something like “This is all very confusing.” when the plot hits maximum ridiculousness.
There are several knights who do not speak Welsh and this is depicted by them speaking various dialects of old French and Gaulish and Brittonic splinter languages with a bar at the bottom that just says ‘I do not know what he is saying.’
Sometimes Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and someone is like “He has become a saint.” or “I believe he has become king of Dumnonia.” and there’s a random quick montage of this random knight getting up from the Round Table, riding out of Camelot and having religious visions or conquering an entire kingdom or drunkenly wandering all the way to Constantinople for no particular reason with the implication that this was all occurring while the other knights were debating a riddle or something asinine.
I think it would be so funny if the first shot of the series was Arthur sitting alone at a comedically large actually round table. Court utterly empty except for him and Sir Kay and like 2 guys from his father’s reign. And in the closing scene of the series he’s sitting in the same spot but there are hundreds of knights crammed into the room around him, sitting on each other’s laps, on the table, pressed flat against the walls to fit. They outgrew and surpassed this ridiculously large table several seasons ago and have been lowkey sitting on top of each other without addressing it.
Everywhere in between the opening shot and the closing shot, the overhead shots show a normal number of people sitting at a normal sized table (say, 8 people around a round conference table), but when you pan around the table, you pan past 25 knights before you come back to Arthur.
Also, fundamental worldbuilding concepts vary from episode to episode and it's never addressed. Arthur got his sword from a rock and from the Lady of the Lake. Merlin ages both backwards and forwards. No one sees anything unusual about this.
#this is actually how arthurian lit works tho#like please someone make this it would probably be the best adaptation of we have
Right? Like I cannot emphasize enough how much you would NOT have to make anything up or change anything from "canon" to make this happen.
You just go through Arthurian legend (I'm thinking chronologically by publication date, but I'm open to arguments for other methods) and transform prose/poetry into script and film it. That's all there is to it.
Oh, and every time there's another version of a story, you just tell that story again with the slightly different details. Pellinore's gonna be discovering a dragon on his property at least twice a season. Guinivere and Lancelot start a brand new love affair every other week.
I just started chapter 10 of Parzival. Gawain is performing pericardiocentesis on someone?!?!
